republicans said we don't want to raise the debt ceiling. president obama said i'm not going to bargain with the debt ceiling and republicans in congress are going to vote to raise temporarily the debt ceiling on wednesday. it seems the president has the upper hand, and maybe that's why his speech was so darned tough. >> well, look, there's no doubt that being the president of the united states gives you the biggest bully pulpit there is in the nation, and i think he realized that and he is using it. part of that speech yesterday talked about taking it to the citizens and having the citizens continue being part of this process and pushing, but you know, with the debt ceiling, i think republicans were actually trying to extend an olive branch and found themselves rebuffed yesterday. if we had said pick the most controversial, divisive issues in the country right now, they are the issues that president obama chose to speak of yesterday. he's got a state of the union coming up in a couple of weeks. i would have expected that that would be a pla

what this bill does is it suspects the debt ceiling until may. that means treasury can borrow without limit to pay for america's obligations. this is something that gives congress breathing room to deal with some of their other big fiscal challenges that we all know about. it lifts this immediate threat of a default, which is so dangerous not just for the american economy but for the world markets. it does so with a requirement, a price requiring the senate to pass a budget. actually, both houses, each house would have to pass a budget or members of congress won't be paid. their pay will be put in an escrow account are they won't be paid. that's a little bit. schtick they're trying to use. this takes away the threat of a big default. >> house republicans have it seems backed off their demand that any increase in the debt ceiling be matched by spending cuts. is this seen as a political retreat or are they hoping to gain something in return? >> reporter: well, both sides are kind of gloating here and claiming victory. we had a press conference from
